NOW IN THIS CENTURY, THE
IDEOLOGY OF POWER AND
DOMINATION HAS APPEARED AGAIN
AND SEEKS TO GAIN THE ULTIMATE
WEAPONS OF TERROR.
ONCE AGAIN THIS NATION AND ALL
OUR FRIENDS ARE ALL THAT STAND
BETWEEN A WORLD AT PEACE AND A
WORLD OF CHAOS AND CONSTANT
ALARM.
ONCE AGAIN WE ARE CALLED TO
DEFEND THE SAFETY OF OUR PEOPLE
AND THE HOPES OF ALL MANKIND,
AND WE ACCEPT THIS
RESPONSIBILTY.

AMERICA'S MAKING A BROAD AND
DETERMINED EFFORT TO CONFRONT
THESE DANGERS.
WE HAVE CALLED ON THE UNITED
NATIONS TO FULFILL ITS CHARTER
AND STAND BY ITS DEMAND THAT
IRAQ DISARM.
WE ARE STRONGLY SUPPORTING THE
INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY
AGENCY IN ITS MISSION TO TRACK
AND CONTROL NUCLEAR MATERIALS
AROUND THE WORLD.
WE ARE WORKING WITH OTHER
GOVERNMENTS TO SECURE NUCLEAR
MATERIALS IN THE FORMER SOVIET
UNION AND TO STRENGTHEN GLOBAL
TREATIES BANNING THE PRODUCTION
AND SHIPMENT OF MISSILE
TECHNOLOGIES AND WEAPONS OF
MASS DESTRUCTION.
IN ALL THESE EFFORTS, HOWEVER,
AMERICA'S PURPOSE IS MORE THAN
TO FOLLOW A PROCESS.
IT IS TO ACHIEVE A RESULT.
THE END OF TERRIBLE THREATS TO
THE CIVILIZED WORLD.
ALL FREE NATIONS HAVE A STAKE
IN PREVENTING SUDDEN AND
CATASTROPHIC ATTACKS, AND WE
ARE ASKING THEM TO JOIN US AND
MANY ARE DOING SO.
YET THE COURSE OF THIS NATION
DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE
DECISIONS OF OTHERS.
